Goldenbadger	10/28/2017 07:10AM quote Captn Tony: "Lyonty set up a trip with Basswood Bob a few years ago. It was a great experience. A couple of things if you go with Bob The dogs are friendly to people but not so much to each other and they are a lot of work. If you help out feeding, cleaning, and rigging up the dogs you'll have more time to do other things like fish. Depending on the weather it can be a lot of work." I love dogs. I have two of my own. The dogs are a big part of my desire to do this trip. Two of my favorite things. Dogs and fishing.

Goldenbadger	10/26/2017 07:32PM quote QueticoMike: "Sounds like fun! Post fish pictures after the trip." I'll definitely post pics if the trip happens. But it won't be this winter. I'm trying to save up some $ for a canoe. I'm thinking it will be next winter.
HappyHuskies	10/23/2017 08:30AM Oops ... I see you already have Bob's website address. Sorry for the duplication, but again would highly recommend him.
HappyHuskies	10/23/2017 08:26AM I'd also recommend Bob Oliva aka Basswood Bob. He's been doing this for a long time, is a great guy and has wonderful dogs. His website is http://www.basswood-bob.com/.
QueticoMike	10/21/2017 07:10PM Sounds like fun! Post fish pictures after the trip.

He is based out of Ely." Thank you. I did see his web site and thought it looked good. I'll look into him a little more. Finding an outfitter might be the easy part. Finding friends crazy enough to do this with me will be the hard part.
walllee	10/21/2017 06:49AM I have not used him, but have heard great things about Basswood Bobs. He offers ice fishing dog sled camping trips , and will put you on fish. He is based out of Ely.
Goldenbadger	10/21/2017 06:43AM Has anyone done this with an outfitter? Which outfitter? Who do you recommend? I'm thinking of a 3-4 day trip. I saw some recommendations for Wintergreen. But on their site I didn't see any mention of ice fishing.
